The story of the early, murderous roots of the cannibalistic killer, Hannibal Lecter – from his hard-scrabble Lithuanian childhood, where he witnesses the repulsive lengths to which hungry soldiers will go to satiate themselves, through his sojourn in France, where as a medical student he hones his appetite for the kill and learnt sword skills from his Japanese girlfriend, who happened to have similar fate

Men Only poster
5.6

Men Only is a provocative two-part drama about the dark side of modern masculinity. What do men want, what do women want from them, and can the two ever be reconciled? Our men are a five-a-side football team from South London. Only they're too old, too slow, too under the thumb at home to waste their precious Tuesday nights kicking a ball around and losing every time. So the football stops and the excitement starts. They begin in lap-dancing bars, but soon they want more. Porn. Violence. Sex. Class A's. What happens on Tuesday nights should never go home. But one night they finally go too far, and the two worlds look set to collide

9.0

Director Peter Webber's dramatized exploration of the tumultuous life of Austrian composer Franz Schubert exposes the stark contradictions of the legendary artist, whose dark personal life was often veiled by his astonishing musical feats. Despite his many unseemly affairs, shameful transgressions and eventual hospitalization for syphilis, Schubert created some of the most melodic and mellifluous compositions known to man.
